Just as the chip on your physical credit card protects against fraud during physical purchases, payment tokenization defends by adding an extra layer of security to all digital transactions. With tokenization, your PAN (Principal Account Number) is replaced by a series of algorithmically generated characters that prevent any real credit card or account details from being revealed.Armed with the knowledge that tokens can only be redeemed once for a specific amount and that tokenized data is mathematically immutable, your business can use it like a credit card without compromising payment security. can take action. It's nice to provide a unique token to vendors via email.

However, we are also seeing an increase in payment tokenization applications in B2B settings. A prime example is MineralTree's own SilverPay, a completely plastic-less virtual card that sets each payment with a randomly generated card number that can be charged once for a specified amount.

Many businesses are also using tokenized payments for their existing bank-issued corporate cards. In addition to being able to make standard payments using your physical card, these cards allow you to create tokenized numbers for supplier payments as part of your AP workflow.
